307 “SM- feel lots better-” June 20 - 4:15 P.M. Wednesday My Dearest Darling: Walked down to the P.O. a little while ago, but don't think it was such a smart idea. There wasn't any mail, but I did buy Wendy and me some flowers to perk us up - flame and yellow gladioli, and some other flowers whose names I don't know ranging from pink to deep rose. Saw Barbara C. at the Post Office - she and George are looking for a place to buy. Forgot to tell you this morning that Walter had also written that the Marine head of MG on Guam is going out to take charge on Okinawa. Was he the [pg 2] man you saw? Helen has had a phone put in. I haven’t at all minded her using our phone, but most of her calls would come at night and wake Wendy up. 5:30 Wendy is driving me to distraction - she just will not drink anything, and ended up by dumping a cup of orange juice all over me. I left her alone in the kitchen to contemplate her behavior, and let her cry til she stopped. Then I brought her in here, and started to read “The Three Little Pigs,” but she preferred to hold the book upside down and make up her own story - “No, bludel, whuck, [?], me doodle do - do, do, diva, mudabu, mel, [busawhuckabio] - etc. etc. all read in a high pitched voice, like mummy being the little piggy. Before the orange juice episode [pg 3] I read thru last months letters and now I'm wondering whether you were on pay line, or down at Reini's hospital. Helen says she is walking down for the mail, but I don't feel very optimistic - most of our mail still seems to come in at night. 8:00 P.M. Sweety - I feel so awful tonight all gone and weak inside, and worried because I haven't heard from you - I wish I could be sure that you are alright. My throat is much better, but I'm terribly tired, and too tied up to sleep. Don't dare take any more Seconal, and I haven't eaten enough for a drink. Darling, when are you going to come home to me - I'm so lonely- Love you- Bobby
